\keyword{dplot}{kde2d}
\begin{Description}\relax
Two-dimensional kernel density estimation with an axis-aligned
bivariate normal kernel, evaluated on a square grid.\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
kde2d(x, y, h, n = 25, lims = c(range(x), range(y)))
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{x}] x coordinate of data

\item[\code{y}] y coordinate of data

\item[\code{h}] vector of bandwidths for x and y directions. Defaults to
normal reference bandwidth.

\item[\code{n}] Number of grid points in each direction.

\item[\code{lims}] The limits of the rectangle covered by the grid as \code{c(xl, xu, yl, yu)}.

\end{ldescription}
\end{Arguments}
\begin{Value}
A list of three components.

\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{x, y}] The x and y coordinates of the grid points, vectors of length \code{n}.

\item[\code{z}] An \code{n}  x  \code{n} matrix of the evaluated density.
